The Good
40% off TNW Conference!
This is a good thing.
Whats more, the developers also differentiateSun Havenfrom similar titles by catering purely to the player.
This game is dripping with quality of life tweaks on the decades-old formula.
In some respects, the game can feel a bit toonice, but this is countered by its immensity.
The game has a lot going for it in sheer terms of scope, scale, and size.
Theres a lot to do.
And when I say its not ready, I mean it.
But thats where the laurels end when it comes to the games level of polish.
First off, the controls are abysmal.
The bad
It gets worse.
You cant mapanycontrols in game.
This was pretty close to a deal-breaker for me.
Nearly every gameSun Havencompetes with makes controller support seamless while simultaneously nailing keyboard and mouse controls.
These kinds of issues happen far too frequently.
And I still dont understand.
Am I a wild man who spits in the face of symmetry?
No, no Im not.
This might seem like a silly complaint, but these games are literally about building your ideal little farm.
But, I love it
All that being said: this isnt a bad or broken game.
Its a good Early Access game that almost surely will become a great finished product some day.
Some of the things that pissed me off aboutSun Havenlast week are no longer issues today.
And I expect most, if not all of my above gripes to be handled at some point.
I really enjoy playing this game and it has a lot going for it.
But I honestly dont think its worth $25 yet.
Its missing far too much polish.
Right now, I cant recommend purchasing it unless youre in it for the long haul.
There is plenty to enjoy right now, in its current stable build.
Until then, if you remain undaunted, you could purchaseSun Havenon Steamhere.
